Dang. I won't be in Houston until May 14th.

I swear fate is against me on seeing Paul in concert.

I spent 250 bucks on one ticket for Paul on his last tour for myself. I was seven rows back and it was great, but I had also spent 250 for two tickets during his first pass through. You cant put a price tag on seeing a Beatle.

I paid $250 during his tour for Flowers in the Dirt. I'm surprised they aren't higher now. It was definitely worth it. It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen-and it was the first tour where he played alot of The Beatles songs.

Aye, handsomely. But not $250! That's simply too much. It's too much because most of his audience would have to work many hours to end up with $250 after tax.

Here in Australia a couple of years ago, "best seats" were - if I remember correctly - around $AU400. (This was the tour that was cancelled "out of respect for the people killed in the Bali bombings" - in reality, Paul cancelled because sales were sluggish.) The 'average worker' would have to work for over ten hours to net $AU400 (he would of course have to earn more than that, to pay tax).

Paul has been asked in the past about the prices for his concerts. He has said he doesn't have any say in that, as it's worked out by the people who know these things. That reply is very patronizing on Paul's part: if he says it's too much, then he can give orders to reduce his profits/go for venues cheaper to hire/stay in less expensive hotels/etc etc.

Remember also, that a tour often promotes an album (and this is the case in the upcoming tour). Also, much merchandize is on sale at Macca concerts. They expect you to keep on unloading your wallet once you get to the concert!
